What could be more rewarding than a gorgeous vase that you get to fill with late Summer Roses, delicately fashioned with French wired ribbons and Hanah Hand-Dyed Velvet Silk ribbons? Ultrasuede™ and threads accent the flowers. Fully kitted for convenience - kits may vary slightly.

*Class Fee - $85 + Material Fee = $115

I am so very excited to let you know that we have found our PERFECT VENUE FOR 2018! Mark down these dates: FEBRUARY 6-10, 2018! We searched high and low for an EVEN BETTER home for TKDAA™, and after much brainstorming and prayers, we have decided to go with the Renaissance Dallas Richardson Hotel. From the classrooms, to the indoor pool, to the ballroom, to the guestrooms and places that are in the general area for you to enjoy; it just all added up! Check out their website and have a look around! www.renaissance-hotels.marriott.com

But now, the real push begins! We have to make sure all is lined up for you to begin registering as soon as we can put everything together! So much (fun) work to be done, but we are moving forward everyday, and will have the information as soon as we can!

We are excited that in this age of everything always going up in price, we will be able to include lunch everyday with your class registration! A wonderful value added! Not to mention the extra goodies that we have in store for you!

Please stay tuned for registration dates and info on fabulous teachers and their classes!

The "paper product" that you have seen Kathy use for classes and demos is actually an embroidery stabilizer. It can be left inside the Prepared Edge Applique block and soaked to turn into a thin batting. Spend no time removing this fiber product and no freezer paper underneath at all.

At Houston Quilt Fest we were offering a Show Special of $5.00 per yard, OR 5 yards for $20. We will honor this price through November 30, 2016, and after that date price goes back to $5. We ship most anywhere and ship flat fold to get the best price for you. Paper can be cut to printer size and any folds or wrinkles ironed right out of it. More details upon request and instructions for use sent with order.

We accept CC, Money Orders and Checks. Email to quiltedpeach@gmail.com or phone 972-955-5238/214-284-7091

Yes, we are in full swing with our new registration beginning and we are hoping that you like what you see! We also hope that you will be able to mark it down on your calendar and share a day or the whole week with us Feb 6-11, 2017.

For now, I am so content to stitch away on my Mary Manakee pattern of old. I began this pattern in the early 2000's I believe, but for some reason never continued past Block 1. Imagine that! The bleached muslin that I chose for the quilt was so starck white and that I just never got excited about it. Figure that lonely block will one day be a pillow. Fast forward to 2016, with the most wonderful Moda background that I had been holding onto for just the right project. I grabbed my patterns and there it was! Mary was going to take shape!

I am loving every minute of this fun quilt and am only just starting on Block 3. You can maybe still find the Pattern with DAR museum online or perhaps on Amazon. Get yourself the pattern and join me in making this quilt and we can inspire each other to move along on it. Also, my One Day Class at TKDAA™2017 is based on one of the Blocks from the Pattern, so you could join me for that class on Feb 6, 2017!

Here are my 2 Blocks; I am still going to continue adding more embellishments with thread work and beads and such. It takes a long time for me to know when a block is "just right". It is like saying goodbye to an old friend, when I actually finish stitching one. Especially for me, as I procrastinate actually putting blocks together into a top! Ah, doesn't really matter to me right now. The applique is what I want to be doing for now!

Please visit on May 15, 2016 or afterwards to see the new Teachers and their Class Offerings for FEB 6-11, 2017.

We are so pleased to offer you such a wonderful group and know that you are going to love being at The Kathy Dunigan Academy of Applique™ 2017!

Just a few more days....Registration for Sneak Peak signups begin (these people paid a $100 early bird fee towards their registration to get first look) and then JUNE 1, 2016, we welcome everyone to register! Please do not download any forms for registration until that date as you may get the past event's links. We are busy getting everything ready for you.

We are just so excited to be looking forward towards another wonderful gathering in Rockwall, Texas! We hope that you choose to join us!

THE KATHY DUNIGAN ACADEMY OF APPLIQUE ™

What is it?A full 5 day gathering with classes by wonderful, leading applique teachers with fun gatherings and events

Where is it? Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront, Rockwall, Texas, set on a beautiful harborfront, many restaurants and shopping in one place!

When is it? February 3-7, 2015

Dear Applique Friends,

You are invited to gather with us and be fully immersed in “all things applique” for 5 glorious days! We have leading teachers, well known and new on the quilt scene, both hand and machine alike. We offer warm, inviting classroom settings and a relaxing, beautiful location to gather with friends, both new and cherished. We have the “run” of a beautiful Hilton, all set to receive us in our comfy clothes, where late night owls can gather for even more stitching and social time, after each exciting day winds down. Hand and machine applique techniques you’ve wanted to learn, a special teacher that you have wanted to meet and study with or a project that calls to your heart; we will offer it all! We believe we have put together a truly special learning event for you!

That’s not all…at a very special gathering, we will be honoring our friend, Elly Sienkiewicz, to whom so much gratitude is offered here. She has graciously given so much, to so many and she now offers to share a breathtaking show of her quilts and also will be in the teacher lineup for a grand One Day class offering.

We hope to welcome you to Texas and share this time with you in February 2015. Put us on the calendar and register as soon as June 1, 2014.
